I think it's obvious I'm not dumping all men in the group. The system that creates those problems for men was created by... Oh other men 😂
I can't see a way the manosphere can be justified, sorry, I went through some wild shit is a kid and I'm not doing the trash men do.
oh the manosphere is totally unjustified. that shit is fucked and hurts everyone. im just saying theres a reason so many men end up there. acknowledging the nuances of problems doesnt mean they arent problems.
Yes men created the system but it was a tiny number who did this and lots of men such as myself are just as unhappy with the system more powerful and older men built for everyone. I had no say in it and I’ve been fighting against it all my life.
Are you making it obvious to the people you're talking to who get defensive of men?
If you say "men" and are thinking of the majority of men who are toxic or tolerate other's toxic behaviour, but the person you're talking to hears "men" and is thinking of their amazing ally dad and brother, then the problem is that you're essentially speaking different languages.
